Anyone got any good ideas what to buy that can be eaten without cooking or opening refrigerator?

82. You can buy tuna salad in pouches.

I think it's Star Kist that makes them. There are also a number of tuna with flavorings on the market, such as Bumblebee Sensations and Starkist Tuna Creations. Chicken of the Sea just came out with some meals in pouches. If you really like mayo in your tuna salad, you can always get a bunch of those individual restaurant pouches. If you like salmon, Bumblebee has individual salmon steaks in pouches, with a variety of seasoning, like teriyaki. They are quite good.

There are loads of shelf-stable meals and side dishes out now. Hormel, Spam, Barilla, Uncle Ben's, Old El Paso Sides... You might also be able to find shelf-stable milk and milk substitutes (almond milk, etc.) in single serve cartons. I know that Organic Valley and Pacific Natural Foods sell them. Pacific Natural's shelf-stable roasted red pepper and tomato soup is delicious, BTW. I usually eat it cold and add chopped peppers, onions, tomatoes, and/or avocado to it, like gazpacho.

Fresh fruit, such as apples, oranges, and plums don't need to be refrigerated, if you are wanting something short-term. Way better than canned.
